To make ChromeUtils.addProfilerMarker easier to use, I recently added a ChromeUtils.now method returning the same value as Cu.now, but available in all chrome privileged scripts, including chrome workers. (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1982887).

Usage of Cu.now has been replaced with ChromeUtils.now throughout the tree (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1983606) and I have now removed the Cu.now implementation (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1985100).

If you have in flight patches that use Cu.now, please update them to use ChromeUtils.now instead.
